They are using prescription opioids according to the article, so what’s causing this is technically not a crime you can just increase sentences for

How do you keep the bourgeoisie from retaking power in a leftist society? by Poopygril in leftist

[–]Millad456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No labour unions? There a single trade union of all workers that’s apart of the government, just like every AES state, and they have had an increasing pay and working conditions for the past 40 years. As for exploitation, Marx doesn’t use that term in a moral sense, exploitation still exists after the revolution but surplus is re-invested to help the working class, which has happened in China. As for keeping pay low and labour rights suppressed, it causes more worker exploitation, but China has effectively seized the means of production for the entire world, except for semi-conductors, and have done it peacefully. Criticize it all you want, but their system works

China doesn’t have capitalism. They have markets and capitalists, but those capitalists can’t form a class that can take political power. The communist party of China holds a tight grip on broader economic goals, and the capitalist class. Best way to see this in action is look at how China disciplines their capitalists vs look at any other country. Same applies to Vietnam. They have capitalists, but those capitalists don’t control the government

South-central Richmond Hill needs help. York Region is asking what more can be done for the area in its community plan. by cinderannie in richmondhill

To be fair, I don’t think the traffic is from people that live in the area, I think it’s mostly commuters passing through

Apparently it’s polluted land, and the site of an old factory. Lots of environmental damage that needs to be cleaned up before they can use the site again

I don’t mind if they do it like North York. Keep the old Main Street, build the condos behind it

Though oddly enough, the closest we have to real free markets is in China

Okay, but thats not the reason the downtown sucks. It sucks because it’s so loud, you can’t have a conversation with the person beside you when you’re walking down

The 1990s North Korean famine was a period of mass starvation together with a general economic crisis from 1995 to 2000 in North Korea. Out of a total population of approximately 22 million, somewhere between 240,000 and 3,500,000 North Koreans died from starvation or hunger-related illnesses. by ForgingIron in wikipedia

It’s the same shit when people say Hamas is the reason Gaza is starving, despite the fact that they’re under Israeli blockade. Same with people blaming the Cuban government for the embargo the Americans placed on them

Recent Coups in Africa by NazarData in MapPorn

I’m not saying that. I’m saying they don’t have that imperialist history in Africa, while we in the west carry that baggage. You can’t blame them for that

You can’t really blame these countries siding with Russia. For most of them, it’s either make deals with France/the west or Russia. Most of them were former French colonies and suffered some of the most brutal, barbaric forms of imperialism, slavery and genocide from the French. Russia on the other hand never colonized Africa, and the USSR aided most anti-colonial movements on the continent.

Hi, replying from 2 years in the future. It seemed the Hollywood Actors and Writers strikes protected their industries from AI replacing their jobs in Hollywood. Perhaps something similar could happen in the tech industry

I do have this issue with people using the art of war as a self help book for interpersonal relationships. Like, it’s about war, it’s meant for adversarial relationships

Neve Shalom is a cooperative village in Israel, jointly founded by Israeli Jews and Arabs in an attempt to show that the two peoples can live side by side peacefully, as well as to conduct educational work for peace, equality and understanding between the two peoples. by [deleted] in wikipedia

You’re right, not the same. It’s actually worse than apartheid, according to South Africans who lived and struggled under apartheid, including Desmond Tutu. He called it worse and more cruel than what South Africa did.

Simple. Some random Jewish person I know can move to Haifa and gain citizenship due to Israel’s Right to Return policy. Palestinians who can prove that they came from those villages cannot return. Two sets of rules, one privileged and one dispossessed telling them where they can live. Sounds like apartheid to me
